TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONGERN z Beit known that I, RICHARD H. GUTTER, ofCleveland, county of Cuyehogo, in the State of Ohio, have invented-:3.new und improved E,Spring-Bed Bottom; and-LI do hereby declare that thefollowing is u full and exact description thereof, reference being hadto the ce'companying drawings, and' 'to the letters of reference .l

marked thereon.

Figure l is e perspective view.

Figure 2 is a. vertical cross-section.

Figure' is n plan showing the manner of weaving the webbing into thespring.

The nature of this invention consists in securing the springs by webbinginterwoven into the ends of the springs insuch a. 'manner that they maybe used on both sides, thus presenting u springy surface for either o.bed bottom or lounge-scot upon either side, the ends of' the wire ofwhich the Springs are made being turned over 1nd looked so :is to form ncomplete ringy into which the webbingqis woven. The webbing may bestretched perfectly straight on one side and presento. level surface, orthe webbing muy be evenly stretched on both sides. By thus interweovingwebbing into the springs the pressure is alike upon `muy part between asupon the springs, und there is no punching through or uneven pressure ofthe springs. They do notl weer out nor become displaced as soon, und incese a. spring is broken :mother may be easily replaced.

That others muy fully understand nay-improvement, -I will describe itsconstruction.

lA represents a. freine of suitable size for either a. bed-bottom orlounge-seat. B B are strips of webbing nttached'ztt both ends to theframeAby tacks or otherwise.' C C are also strips of webbing7 which passthrough the rings of the springs and are interwoven with thecross-strips B, thus securing the springs in position without otherassistonce.' Both endsoof the springs D are for-med into rings byturning over the end of the wireand locking in the mann-er seen :it d,tig. 3. This prevents their slipping or becoming displaced on thewebbing. In abcd-bottom the springs may be set on slats of woedend havetwine interwoven through the'rings on the slats to prevent any noisewhen the springs are compressed. This may be done where only one side ofthe springs is designed to be used.

A spring-bed bottom or lounge-seeconstructed in the ina-nner hereindescribed possesses several advantages over the ol'd, which are, first,it makes a. convenient bed-botro1n which takes the place of a. mattress;second, it also makes a. convenient lounge-seat; and, third, by itspeculiar construction the springs muy be used on either side, es in thebed-lounge the folding seat is required to be used on both sides7 thusrendering but one set of springs necessary. The interwe'aving of thewebbing in the manner described. makes un equal bearing on the springswherever .the pressure happens to be.

I do not claim the springs as new, nor the use of webbing)` stretchedacross fra-me, but I claim the abovedescribed bed-bottom asa new articleof manufacture. v
